Redditor Gifts Brother Giant Homemade Jenga Drinking Game

One redditor custom-made this giant-sized version of the block-stacking classic as a Christmas present for their brother. In a comment, user Jrinka explains that he “has everything except a giant Jenga drinking game,” so hey, why not?

When you pronounce the name “Jrinka” out loud, it may sound like you’re slurring the words “drink up,” but the game itself is a work of careful craftsmanship and masteful game-planning that would make Plutarch Heavensbee smile.

The Jrinka creator started with around 16 pieces of wood and a picnic table as a “makeshift chop shop”:

After cutting the wood down to Jenga-sized proportions, the redditor engraved the “Jrinka” label into a rubber stamp, pressed it to a sepia ink pad, and stamped the logo onto the sides of the blocks:

Now for the fun part: the directions.

Each call to action is printed on the middle of a block, and it’s revealed only after a player withdraws that piece from the stack.

In classic drinking game fashion, the instructions range from the easy (“put piece back”) and kind-hearted (“tell a joke”) to the more complex (“make a rule”) and crude (“show yer undies”):

There’s a “truth or dare” block, another that forces players to use their non-dominant hand for the remainder of the round, and one piece that simply mandates that you talk like a pirate until someone else draws the same block.

Despite the whimsical twists and turns, Jrinka can’t claim sole authorship of this new game.

As the craftsman acknowledges in a comment, redditor yeroc1016 created a Jenga-inspired drinking game last year—aptly named Drenga, as in “drunk Jenga”:

Though the pieces in this game were traditionally sized, the rules of Drenga were much more intricate—with tiles reading “Freaky Friday” and “TARDIS,” and even an error message tile that says, “404: Not Found.”

No matter what’s written on the actual blocks, a customized Jenga set is a beautifully time-consuming way to tell your loved ones that you know how to woodwork, you bought a rubber stamp set, and you’d like everyone to get drunk.

Just remember to invite the neighbors, too, because everyone loves a good block party.
